Summary/Abstract: Travelling by air is perceived to be the safest way of transportation. Since the very beginning of the evolution of this amazing industry, safety aspect was one of the highest priority. Taking into consideration the specifications and features of aviation, it is no wonder why it relied from the very beginning on how safe it would look like for the public opinion. The standards have been developed over decades by each country as well as in the order of international cooperation. That led to the establishment of common policies, guidelines and standards that were agreed to be uphold in the sky. Such standards are not easy either to create or to maintain and execute. An example of the European Union and the United States of America in that matter shows how complex those regulations has to be and how complicated is to establish such relations.
